Exactly
Bush came out and asked for a bunch of stuff that would have been difficult to do when the Republican controlled Congress. And which Bush showed little or no interest in during the past 6 years.
This is just setting up a list of complaints for latter about how the Democrats are blocking progress and the good of the country.
Personally I think a better system of power sharing would be better for Congress. But the Republicans suddenly whining about it after refusing to give the Democrats even the least scraps for many years is downright embarrassing. Same goes for Bush's sudden talk of compromise and negotiation.
